Luminary Award Dinner

We are grateful to our supporters and donors who attended the 9th Annual Luminary Award Dinner and made significant financial contributions to expand ChicagoCAC’s vital work battling abuse, advocating for children and families, educating the community about prevention, and restoring the lives of children! 

We brought together nearly 400 Chicago area professionals, community leaders, and other friends of ChicagoCAC along with hundreds more who supported and celebrated with us by volunteering, donating auction items, or participating from home. 

To reach and exceed our fundraising goals and continue expanding our work, donations are encouraged and accepted year-round. Your generosity helps children and families heal from sexual abuse through forensic interviews, mental health therapy, and more — all free of charge — so children can move beyond their trauma and return to their childhood.

We extend one more heartfelt thanks to our event sponsors; Emcee, CBS2 co-anchor, Irka Sargent; Keynote Speaker, James Marsh; staff and volunteers for contributing to an inspirational evening promoting hope and healing for Chicago children and families while honoring our Luminary Award recipient, Mara Walsh. 

We look forward to gathering together again next year for our milestone 10th annual Luminary Award Dinner!
